Mid-Year Resolution

I know the difference between my own strengths and weaknesses.  I just can't seem to want to do something about it.  :)  No really, there's not a person I know who wants to have a discussion on their weaknesses, much less work actively on them.  Sometimes it's even hard to find the time to figure them all out!  So I've decided to make a mid-year resolution. 

Let's face it, nobody, I mean NOBODY actually starts their resolutions on January 1st.  If they do, it's more likely that they burn out by mid-year or not too long after.  Ok, I'll admit it, there are those little gems that just seem to have it all together.  They're all..."Look at me, I'm so organized!" or "Look at this goal, I'm going to reach it in less time than I'm going to give myself."  Ok I'm being sarcastic and a little jealous.  But these are the people that I continuously strive to be and wind up crying, in yoga pants (for the second week consecutively), not showered, trying to cook meals for days, rooms in various states of mid-cleaning, wondering where the kids are and what else I'm going to put on my list of "Things I Forgot".  And I do mean crying!  It gets so overwhelming, that I pretty much accept my personality as a laid-back, not bothered by mess kinda gal.  Which brings me to my. worst. flaw.   

Time Management   <dun-dun-duunnn>

Weeellll.....it turns out that I am a HORRIBLE time management person.  (No surprise there!)  I'm taking a class on success strategies.  It's supposed to help with my going back to school venture, and eventually help in my personal and professional life.  Well I can already tell you that it's making me take a good hard look at one of my biggest flaws.  That clock is such a biatch!  Of course being a procrastinator makes this flaw run crazy out of control sometimes!  I've definitely started to be proactive on figuring out different ways that will help me.
  * (Remember that this is based time management)

1. Made a list of strengths and weaknesses.
2. Made a list of short-term and long-term goals.
3. Reviewed those things to determine what I need in order to meet my goals as well as work on my weaknesses.
4. Went to Mind Tools and explored different strategies to consider.
5. Create a plan (an outline, if you will) to actively put in to place to help me reach my goals.

 I think I have a pretty good foundation to start from.  I know the data.  I know the variables.  Now it's time to start kickin' butt!  I have until the end of the year, so here goes nothin'!!
